Karen's husband Borce, 52, told police that about 10am, on the morning of June 29, his wife had left their $1.1m Avondale Heights home.

The couple had argued about money, he told detectives who opened the investigation. She was last seen wearing a black jacket and jeans. The retail fashion store owner was carrying her Coach handbag and purse.

Since that morning, Mrs Ristevski's phone and bank accounts have never been used.

Mr Ristevski has always denied he had anything to do with his wife's disappearance. In August, his brother Vasko put forward the theory that Karen had fled Australia with a false passport to the US or China.

Melbourne criminal lawyer Rob Stary today spoke to Fairfax and confirmed he had been advising Mr Ristevski since the early stages of the investigation.

"It's pretty clear police have him as their number one suspect," he said.

The Ristevski family were reported to be in significant debt, before the 47-year-old mother mysteriously vanished.

In the month after Karen was last seen, The Australian revealed the couple were in debt up to $600,000. A fashion store owned by Mrs Ristevski, Bella Bleu, was shut down in the first half of 2016.

The Ristevski family had to deal with more anguish in August last year when Anthony Rickard, stepson of Karen and son of Borce, came forward pitching a sensational story to media.

Rickard, who was known to suffer from ice addiction, made unsubstantiated claims about a family conflict.

He wanted Channel Nine's A Current Affair to pay $200,000 for the story, an offer the show refused.
